🌳Climate-driven range shifts in alpine plants require recruitment beyond tree lines. For P. cembra, seed origin & maternal reproductive traits drive seedling establishment, potentially outweighing microclimate & maternal genetics @valgra.bsky.social @aaronkauffeldt.bsky.social 👉️ buff.ly/NyNPcJb

Excited to share my final PhD paper! We show how mother tree and seed position within an elevational gradient drive seedling recruitment in the Alps🌱⛰️ You can read it here: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.70303 @journalofecology.bsky.social @sgn.one @wslresearch.bsky.social @aaronkauffeldt.bsky.social
